Cam locks are usually key cylinders like you find in a bike lock. These poles have quick release levers that do require some hand & finger strength. They do have a tightening screw so the tension can be adjusted. they have never accidentally opened for us.

My Dad is 81 years old and uses it. It works well for him. He likes it and isn't terrified by it. I would compare it to a watch alarm.

Yes the locking feature works well. Depending on the angle and weight it may be a little difficult to unlock. I really like the machine. I'm 200 lbs and it works well and it handles me doing inverted sit ups.

I used them to move a heavy Rustic wooden queen size bed mattress and all. Lever bent a little but didn't keep it from working. Did it all by myself and I'm 62.

Tammi, no I don't believe the grabber could help much in that department. It's horrible trying to find things to help when your mobility is impaired. Sorry!

It certainly isn't designed to work for that. I have used Mommy's Helper Slide-Lok Bi-Fold Door Lock ( Mommy's Helper Slide-Lok Bi-Fold Door Lock ) and it works better than you would think it would from its picture.

I don't know....maybe not. I'm 38 and I have to use two hands to squeeze it closed! It's also quite heavy. I hope this answers your question!

Wouldn't work and no locking mechanism...... These are great but flimsy and a bit delicate. I have a few and will perhaps more in another size if available this year so I recommend them but they aren't the greatest quality and only have a simple use as advertised to keep the rain out and let the air in. HOpe this helps..

I see your comment below about breaking off the cog. That's what I did. I'm 67, and I found it impossible to open without a pair of channellocks. The button is easy, but forget about using it to top off a car unless you have a separate funnel. So, to do the job of one tool, you end up needing three!

I'm age 63, and I have joint pain, BUT, I can still use my little can opener. Each person who has problems with their hands might be different. I say buy one and try it, if it causes you pain to use it give it to a family member. They are so reasonable it would be worth the money. I really love them, I carry one in my purse on my key ring. I hope that helps you! Lady Survivalist -

In addition, you can disengage the locks by pushing the little switch so that if you are working in your kitchen, you can get into your cabinets easily. As a grandparent, these work well for us because the little one is not always here and we just disengage them when he is not at our house and lock them back up when he is. My daughter has them also and loves them.

Yes, they can if they have a bolt cutter large enough. If someone wants something bad enough to carry bolt cutters, I am sure nothing will stop them. I am sorry for your loss. Unfortunately locks like these keep away the honest people, there are professional thieves that go to extremes to steal things that hard working people pay for. Nothing is safe, 100%.

Who needs a key when you can just break it very easily? I wouldn't buy this if it wasn't the only thing that you could use for a game cam security box. I got 2 stolen just a couple weeks ago.

They can if they have the key or learn how to pick the lock with something that fits the key hole. It's not hard to do. But I use mine for my elderly mother and she can't get into it with the key. So I guess it would depend on who it is for and how agile they are. So I would say yes it can be opened. I would say the lock is mainly for keeping the pills stay in place and not spill out when handling.

There is very little "resistance" during the operation of this chair and it reclines to an extreme position, which is one of the things I like about it. But it is possible for the chair to fall back to it's fully reclined position rather suddenly which could be alarming at the very least, not to mention difficult to get out of for someone with minimal strength. The safety locks might be in an awkward place for an elderly person to deal with as well. If your mother is frail, or less than adventurous, I would not recommend this chair. Uncle Crusty

The way the handles are shaped, she should be able to slip her hand into them or above them and just lean into them to set them. Dad is 71, with arthritis, and bone cancer and he manages it well enough. In the end, roll the dice, get it home try it. If it doesn't work return it. or go to a med. equipment store and try different ones til you find one that works.

Hi Jerrad, although it doesn't state anything about elderly use in the description, nothing can be guaranteed. I'm sure they are worth a shot. That's a scary problem you have there, you don't want any accidents. If you do want to give them a try and they don't work, I have no problem issuing a complete refund. Good luck
